http: drop custom http client logic

Eight and a half years ago, as my starter bug on code.google.com, I
investigated a mysterious "broken pipe" error from seemingly random
clients[0]. That investigation revealed a tragic story: the Python
standard library's httplib was (and remains) barely functional. During
large POSTs, if a server responds early with an error (even a
permission denied error!) the client only notices that the server
closed the connection and everything breaks. Such server behavior is
implicitly legal under RFC 2616 (the latest HTTP RFC as of when I was
last working on this), and my understanding is that later RFCs have
made it explicitly legal to respond early with any status code outside
the 2xx range.

I embarked, probably foolishly, on a journey to write a new http
library with better overall behavior. The http library appears to work
well in most cases, but it can get confused in the presence of
proxies, and it depends on select(2) which limits its utility if a lot
of file descriptors are open. I haven't touched the http library in
almost two years, and in the interim the Python community has
discovered a better way[1] of writing network code. In theory some day
urllib3 will have its own home-grown http library built on h11[2], or
we could do that. Either way, it's time to declare our current
confusingly-named "http2" client logic and move on. I do hope to
revisit this some day: it's still garbage that we can't even respond
with a 401 or 403 without reading the entire POST body from the
client, but the goalposts on writing a new http client library have
moved substantially. We're almost certainly better off just switching
to requests and eventually picking up their http fixes than trying to
live with something that realistically only we'll ever use. Another
approach would be to write an adapter so that Mercurial can use pycurl
if it's installed. Neither of those approaches seem like they should
be investigated prior to a release of Mercurial that works on Python
3: that's where the mindshare is going to be for any improvements to
the state of the http client art.

  $ hg init repo
  $ cd repo
  $ hg bookmark bm
  $ touch file0
  $ hg commit -Am file0-added
  adding file0
  $ hg journal --all
  previous locations of the working copy and bookmarks:
  0fd3805711f9  .         commit -Am file0-added
  0fd3805711f9  bm        commit -Am file0-added

A shared working copy initially receives the same bookmarks and working copy

  $ cd ..
  $ hg share repo shared1
  updating working directory
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ cd shared1
  $ hg journal --all
  previous locations of the working copy and bookmarks:
  0fd3805711f9  .         share repo shared1

unless you explicitly share bookmarks

  $ cd ..
  $ hg share --bookmarks repo shared2
  updating working directory
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ cd shared2
  $ hg journal --all
  previous locations of the working copy and bookmarks:
  0fd3805711f9  .         share --bookmarks repo shared2
  0fd3805711f9  bm        commit -Am file0-added

Moving the bookmark in the original repository is only shown in the repository
that shares bookmarks

  $ cd ../repo
  $ touch file1
  $ hg commit -Am file1-added
  adding file1
  $ cd ../shared1
  $ hg journal --all
  previous locations of the working copy and bookmarks:
  0fd3805711f9  .         share repo shared1
  $ cd ../shared2
  $ hg journal --all
  previous locations of the working copy and bookmarks:
  4f354088b094  bm        commit -Am file1-added
  0fd3805711f9  .         share --bookmarks repo shared2
  0fd3805711f9  bm        commit -Am file0-added

But working copy changes are always 'local'

  $ cd ../repo
  $ hg up 0
  0 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  (leaving bookmark bm)
  $ hg journal --all
  previous locations of the working copy and bookmarks:
  0fd3805711f9  .         up 0
  4f354088b094  .         commit -Am file1-added
  4f354088b094  bm        commit -Am file1-added
  0fd3805711f9  .         commit -Am file0-added
  0fd3805711f9  bm        commit -Am file0-added
  $ cd ../shared2
  $ hg journal --all
  previous locations of the working copy and bookmarks:
  4f354088b094  bm        commit -Am file1-added
  0fd3805711f9  .         share --bookmarks repo shared2
  0fd3805711f9  bm        commit -Am file0-added
  $ hg up tip
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ hg up 0
  0 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ hg journal
  previous locations of '.':
  0fd3805711f9  up 0
  4f354088b094  up tip
  0fd3805711f9  share --bookmarks repo shared2

Unsharing works as expected; the journal remains consistent

  $ cd ../shared1
  $ hg unshare
  $ hg journal --all
  previous locations of the working copy and bookmarks:
  0fd3805711f9  .         share repo shared1
  $ cd ../shared2
  $ hg unshare
  $ hg journal --all
  previous locations of the working copy and bookmarks:
  0fd3805711f9  .         up 0
  4f354088b094  .         up tip
  4f354088b094  bm        commit -Am file1-added
  0fd3805711f9  .         share --bookmarks repo shared2
  0fd3805711f9  bm        commit -Am file0-added

New journal entries in the source repo no longer show up in the other working copies

  $ cd ../repo
  $ hg bookmark newbm -r tip
  $ hg journal newbm
  previous locations of 'newbm':
  4f354088b094  bookmark newbm -r tip
  $ cd ../shared2
  $ hg journal newbm
  previous locations of 'newbm':
  no recorded locations

This applies for both directions

  $ hg bookmark shared2bm -r tip
  $ hg journal shared2bm
  previous locations of 'shared2bm':
  4f354088b094  bookmark shared2bm -r tip
  $ cd ../repo
  $ hg journal shared2bm
  previous locations of 'shared2bm':
  no recorded locations
